Hey PugJesus@piefed.social , and everyone reading this, have you seen this game where you have to guess an artifact's date and origin location. I expect you'll kill at it.
lmao, haven't seen that before.
I'm right there with ya. The scoring is very strict!
I confused a few pieces significantly - one I put in India and was from Nigeria, one I put in Tibet but was from Egypt, and one I put in Iraq but was from South America (!!!)
Whoa, cool game!
I love webgames, and have a couple more to share along these lines. (altho this one was no doubt the hardest I've ever played)
And... I'm thinking this is maybe the first and last time I play this one! Why? Because the idea that I could score higher than PugJesus@piefed.social (for the day of Jun 16th '26, right?) is both improbable and dumbfounding to me. 😅
But there it is:

Nice and yeah, maybe practice would help all of us?
I think the date the source gives is off.
The Moche existed between 100 to 800 AD.

A similar decoration from the MET with date from 200-900 AD:
Imagine what there could be if Pizarro/Cortés didn't destroy/meltdown 99+% of anything of value.
